The Land Registry lists the price paid for every property bought at market value. The data also includes sales under a power of sale / repossessions, buy-to-lets (where they can be identified by a mortgage) and transfers to non-private individuals.

It may take several weeks for sales to be registered after completion, so some sales from later in October may not yet be listed.
